And he would be the ideal addition to Rafa's squad. He is quick along the ground, capable in the air, and clinical when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.

Iheanacho would be a superb partner for Dwight Gayle, should Benitez opt to play with two strikers through the middle, and the pair could form a potent partnership - one that would be capable of enduring the test of time.

His blistering pace would stretch the pitch for Newcastle, providing greater space for the likes of Jonjo Shelvey to operate in the middle of the park, which should in turn equate to Newcastle gaining more control during games.

For £25 million, signing Iheanacho would be a real coup for the Magpies, and with a manager of Benitez' calibre and reputation at the helm, Newcastle could surely tempt the City star into choosing Tyneside over the east Midlands.
